If I remember correctly, this is my first read-along, but hopefully not my last. Although May is such a busy month, with final test papers to grade (around 150) and other tests to give, I decided to join
Bellezza,
Richard and
Frances in reading Alberto Moravia's
"Contempt" because I simply cannot stay away from such a writer, plus it was also time to read some other books by writers I enjoyed back in college. In a nutshell, if you want and have the time, immerse into some serious reading between 23rd - 25th May. Will it help to say that the book was turned into a movie by Godard, the famous French director, starring Brigitte Bardot?
Thanks for sharing the info! I'm excited to have you reading with us. This is going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteI know! May is almost as busy as September for us teachers! Not the best time for a read-along, but how happy I am that we've thrown in our hats with Frances and Richard and the others. I know nothing about Moravia, so I trust you'll show me a thing or two as I read through him for the first time. xox
ReplyDeleteI remember Moravia as being quite visceral, and I always tend to admire such writers (see Henry Miller, for example). Looking forward to this!
